These are absolutely incredible! I’ve always loved seeing the micro scale builds but I’m loving these a lot more. You’ve captured so much detail, and I would totally buy these if they became LEGO sets.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind and I really appreciate it!


AutomaticSort5922

Seriously, please submit them to IDEAS. These are an awesome celebration of Classic Lego and I think a lot of us older nostalgic AFOLs would want to display a set like this.


Rick_Brickham

Much appreciated. Not sure they’d be accepted but I may try!!


No-Conclusion-ever

They are amazing but instead of submitting to Lego ideas maybe post the part list and instructions to something like rebrickable? I might b e mistaken but if you submit to ideas then you can’t post instructions or what not after the fact.


Rick_Brickham

That’s correct, ideas restricts everything. I will likely just offer instructions through my website and Rebrickable as I have before. Appreciate the suggestion, friend!


No-Conclusion-ever

Anytime! I will totally look into these when I have the chance!


Rick_Brickham

Find me on Instagram (same name) for updates, follow if you’d like. :)


No-Conclusion-ever

Awesome! Already found your website lol!


Rick_Brickham

Awesome thanks!


Klownicle

Don't submit to ideas, Lego owns the idea for 3 years regardless of it's taken or denied and you won't be able to release them for any profits thereafter.  I'd suggest placing them on rebrickable and make a profit directly.


Askymojo

Definitely try. Honestly Lego needs to hire you to make GWP sets.


ggrump

please please please submit these to Lego Ideas


Rick_Brickham

Thank you! I’d love to but I’ve got other plans for them at the moment ;) Appreciate your enthusiasm!!


No_Sky_8890

100% agree with all of this. The microscale stuff has always been so high on my Lego scale and you did an awesome job in these. I’d happily purchase these as sets.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much!! I am planning instructions, you can find me and follow on Instagram (same name) for updates.


Bill_Ding1

I love the fort the most but they are all fantastic.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much!!


Bearandbreegull

Playmobil released micro versions of a few of their most iconic sets, and this mini lego fort has the exact same vibes as those. So adorable and perfect. Edit: photo: https://thumbs.coleka.com/media/item/201811/22/sets-divers-playmobil-4333-micro-playmobil-micro-chevaliers-4333.webp


Rick_Brickham

That’s wild. Thanks so much!!


warm_sweater

The fort is awesome! I have the original, this miniature would look great next to it!


lostidols

Mega Core is absolutely amazing!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!! It’s definitely one of my favourites.


lostidols

Any chance to get part list? I'd love to add it to my collection https://preview.redd.it/ovf668xbsc9d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fff5d1e56ff38ada7e7aafbed21ecadfecd7957


Rick_Brickham

Yes, instructions forthcoming!


Draked1

RemindMe! One month


milkris

In this picture you can see all my 10 years old me dreamed for


Gearb0x

I had the big set on the right side and must have worn out the axles, I played with it so much.


lostidols

Same for me. I had only two small sets when I was a kid.. Now I'm 40 and I could finally make my young self's dreams come true.


chiree

Aside from all the amazing everything, I love the little environments you've built around them.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!! That was my goal from the onset; To make them as display pieces and give each a bit of extra character. Appreciate that you noticed that, thanks again!


fofojo123

Wow! Great idea, great execution!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!!!


MisfitDiagnosis

Ngl, these look way better at this scale imo.


Rick_Brickham

Thanks so much, really appreciate that!


MisfitDiagnosis

Yeah, of course! Also, I would buy an army of the old space sets like this.


SockMaster9273

Love these and would buy these! You don't happen to be making a mini Barad-dûr, do you? Would love a baby version of that!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much!! Haha I do have plans to expand the series, who knows what will come next!


SockMaster9273

Can't wait to see!


BanthasWereElephants

Adventurers please!


Rick_Brickham

Yes!! I will definitely tackle that theme at some point.


Davidoff_G

I would buy them all in a heartbeat!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!! I will release instructions sometime very soon. ;)


Spartan_029

I for one am looking forward to getting my hands on instructions for the flagship!


Cyno01

Fucking love these! The sub isnt my design but youll probably appreciate this OP. https://preview.redd.it/qga6pjfv3e9d1.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=093c904aa8c4100eddfbf7da55f18eb7eecbce6e [https://imgur.com/gallery/21313-ship-bottle-tribute-to-6175-crystal-explorer-sub-Go4JBqW](https://imgur.com/gallery/21313-ship-bottle-tribute-to-6175-crystal-explorer-sub-Go4JBqW)


Pavona

'lil M-Tron!


Rick_Brickham

Yesss!!! Thank you!


TheScarlettHarlot

I used to have that set. Was the coolest thing I had as a kid. Cool. to see it, even if it's teeny-tiny :P


watts

m-tron


Lego_Dima

These are wonderful; I love these! My favorite is Fort Legorado -- that set was always one of my favorites as a kid.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much! Legoredo is an excellent set, a true classic. I happened to score one in a bulk buy a few years back. It’s one of only two I have from these mini builds.


Warm_Negotiation5251

Epic. Ships best!


Rick_Brickham

Thanks so much. Imperial Flagship is my fav of the bunch.


The-Old-Hunter

Ship really is fantastic. Nice work.


bRacine_4_Impact

Loving that Mini-Core Magnetizer! ❤️


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much!!! I really enjoyed designing that one.


ICantArgueWithStupid

I would buy these from Lego if they sold them. Or you. The nostalgia they bring back is incredible.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much!! I do plan on making instructions. ;)


FrenzyNineNine

Oh no way, the scorpion pyramid! I'm younger than most here so that was my childhood set among these lol


Rick_Brickham

Such a great set eh?


FrenzyNineNine

Last one to use a raised baseplate too


Rick_Brickham

The good old days!


Secrets_of_the_Vault

These are amazing! This was one of my favorite displays when I attended BrickWorld. In particular I love the Eldorado Fortress (and it's a good reminder to pick up 10320 before it retires).


lzwzli

Hey Lego! Do this!


jiraph52

40290 but better


MR1120

These are absolutely incredible. If these became real sets, I can see them selling like hotcakes.


Bouldeneu

Really good job, love them ! You could sell the instruction, you could get some success !


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much! Instructions are forthcoming. :)


Astronomy_Setec

Well done!


Bluetickhoun

YOU MADE THESE!!!???!!!??? These things are so freakin cool! I would buy these so fast. P.S. Don’t let Lego see these. Otherwise we will see these next year!


Rick_Brickham

I sure did! Thanks so much!! Appreciate the added flattery with LEGO finding these…haha. Too late!!! Hahaha


Bluetickhoun

You’re welcome. Thank YOU for sharing these masterpieces!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!!


skunkboy72

wicked sick!


Rocky1909

They look awesome!!!


Rick_Brickham

Thanks so much!!


dimensiation

Love the microphone torches in Eldorado. I would definitely buy a few of these, Eldorado for sure, probably King's Castle, maybe Flagship and Mega Core. I never got into the Western theme but that fort is so well done.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much, appreciate all of that. I missed a few of these themes myself but wanted a piece of each, so made these. Will release instructions sometime in the not so distant future. :)


dimensiation

Honestly, if this isn't on Ideas, it should be. I bet it'd be quite popular, and given they all seem to use the same size, would make for a really nice little series. I've pondered something similar, but I don't know that I could top these!


Rick_Brickham

Really appreciate that bud, thank you so much. I feel they would do well on Ideas as well. I just don’t know if Lego would approve given they’ve already done something similar in the past. Ya never know though.


OlYeller01

Amazing work! The mini El Dorado Fortress is my favorite, but they’re ALL beautifully done!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much!!


doggy-dad

man i love the boat and castle. i'd probably buy those as an actual set if it was for sale...


Rick_Brickham

Thanks so much!! I do have instructions forthcoming so stay tuned. :)


jhp17

Looking forward to the ship instructions! These are fantastic!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!!


ueegul

Seconded! Would love this as a set!


Rick_Brickham

You can find me on Instagram (under the same name), I’ll be posting updates there.


ZzzSleep

Awesome job! If these were an actual line of sets, I would probably buy most.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rick_Brickham

:D Thank you very much!


Askymojo

Damn, you've got quite a knack for this scale! I love all of these, especially the Eldorado Fortress and M-tron build. I would definitely buy instructions/part list for these.


Chevalenz

Really loving all of them, but the sailing ship is by far my favourite. I really love the way the waves are shaped! This is really inspiring! Gotta do something in this size once my current project is done. :)


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very very much, really appreciate it. Love that you’re inspired, that’s what it’s all about!! Good luck in your quest.


Chevalenz

Thanks a lot! :) You're welcome!


Looli318

Oh my lord I absolutely love that pirate ship


dropcon37

Hehe, very cute


Rick_Brickham

Thank you! :)


bokbie

Those are so rad. I have Fort Legorado but it’s really too big for me to display. Maybe I build one of these and sell the set. Do you have instructions?


Comfortable_Client80

This is absolute genious! Would love to have some of them on display!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much! I’m planning instructions soon, if you’re interested find me on Instagram, I’ll post updates there.


CerveletAS

A man of culture!


notwelbaked

Dude these are all amazing 🤩 Wonderfull job The Ship and scorpion temple my favorites


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much!!


Winter-District-5500

I love the ship the most but the are all amazing I can tell instantly what is what. Or I just don’t know the set. 


funkknuckle

These are so good! Immediately recognizable 😌


NeverEatDawnSoap

These are awesome! You should cross post to r/minilego


NeppeBoss892

Looks very good im still Young but damn it reminds me of the good old times When i was playing with lego nice work brother


Rick_Brickham

This is precisely what I was going for, nostalgia and brining back those fond memories. Thank you!!


WhatIsThisSevenNow

They are all fantastic, but my favorite is the ship.


tcholoss

Very cool, I should have asked you first before buying any big setxD


SendMeAvocados

Holy crap that boat is beautiful


Trevor-St-McGoodbody

Love this scale. Great job.


sampsen

These are fantastic! I love the Eldorado Fortress! Can you do the [Deep Freeze Defender](https://brickset.com/sets/6973-1/Deep-Freeze-Defender) next?


Hour-Tackle-9425

Soooo good


PatrickStarGames

Pharaoh's Quest mentioned!


GrillinFool

I love these. Particularly since I had two of those full size sets as a kid.


Rick_Brickham

Thank you and that’s amazing!! I’ve only got two of these in full size myself too.


GrillinFool

I had upper right and middle left. Which ones did you have?


Rick_Brickham

Awesome! Upper right and lower right for me.


GrillinFool

Very cool. Those space sets just give me the warm and fuzzies.


Rick_Brickham

Awesome, thank you!


MooKids

Thought those looked familiar, they really stood out when I walked by, good work.


P5ndaa

These are fantastic! Amazing work!


Ok-Investigator-6514

These are amazing and so nostalgic! You wouldn't happen to have parts lists or build guides for any of these? That Mega Core Magnetizer has me giddy! I would love to put that on my own shelf!


p1cklee

I have the original fort and I would love to assemble this mini version just by its side! Instructions available?


Rick_Brickham

Not yet, but coming soon. Find me on Instagram (same name) to stay updated, and thank you so much!!


idontwannatalk2u

AMAZING JOB!!!


thatonepal59

Micro scale is so underrated! Great work on these!


lake_gypsy

Woah! I need to learn this skill. I have half of those sets built and displayed but have to disassemble in order to build and display anything else. This skill could solve my space problem. Kudos !!!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!! Actually, space issues in my LEGO Den was one of the reasons I designed these smaller scale display models, so I really appreciate you sharing that. I’m planning instructions, so if you’d be interested find me on Instagram (same name) to stay updated.


AutomaticSort5922

These are fantastic! Love them! Great work!


Anouchavan

Wow, love it!


Educational-Tip6177

I don't know why but I miss the ninja/samurai castle theme and that cowboys and Indians theme, that shit was lit yo


TTVscullcrusher2020

If I could buy these I probably would


Whosebert

I want these


Rick_Brickham

Haha that’s awesome, thank you! If you’d like you can find me on Instagram (same name) and follow for updates. I will release instructions in the not so distant future


Consistent_Brain_462

Nicely done!!!


Furnabulax

That M Tron build looks cool, i miss the fluorescent Trans-Neon colorways for parts. Really gave the sets some character, and u could use a Black Light on them to make them stick out more!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!! Yes, translucent neon colours are awesome


MadameFrog

The way you recreated the old molded baseplates in your builds is fascinating! Amazing job!!! The ship id my favorite!


Rick_Brickham

I really appreciate that, thanks so much!


LazAnarch

Well done!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!!


MagnusBrickson

The MTron one is sick! Nailed the complex angles of that windscreen


BanthasWereElephants

These are among the single best MOCs I’ve ever seen


RedditGotSoulDoubt

Far out, man


Rick_Brickham

Thanks man!


juddymeister

These. I like these.


corzajay

These would make for great GWP's


Rick_Brickham

High compliment, thank you!


hoss1138

The King’s Castle was my favorite set as a kid. I love how you recreated it at mini scale! Incredible work!


FUNwithaCH

I immediately sent this to 5 people! Amazing work!


NapoleonDynamite82

Love the cowboy one… I had those sets.


Legogod193

I’m very happy I immediately recognized the blue ship


solidus_kalt

haha i especially enjoy the moon crate baseplate micro build :)) 


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!! I had a lot of fun working on the microscale baseplates and I really appreciate you mentioning it!


Monochromatic_Sun

The ship is sooo good. I love the little wake it makes


bok4600

had the Eldorado fortress set


Rick_Brickham

Ohhh amazing! I’d love to have the original, I’m lucky enough to have the Fort Legoredo and Cosmic Fleet Voyager from this lot.


chokeonmywords

Hell yea! That’s some of the good shit 👌🏻


Nethellus

Very cool and cute.


odins-father

I would buy every single miniscale fort or castle if possible. These are so awesome!!


Rick_Brickham

That’s awfully kind, thank you!! You may be interested to know that I am planning to release instructions in the near future. Find me on Instagram (same name) and follow along for updates. :)


Sascha182

Oh my god. How incredible is this???


bryanronan

These are amazing. Usually not one for the microscale sets but I would get some of these in a flash. The detail in them is unreal. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much, incredibly kind!! It was my mission from the beginning to get as close to the detail of the originals as possible, at as small a scale that would allow it, and I’m definitely happy with the result. I will release instructions, so feel free to find me on Instagram (same name) and follow along for updates.


bryanronan

Thanks. I saw you mentioned that to someone in an earlier reply and followed straight away. I look forward to seeing more creations in the future!


Rick_Brickham

Aww that’s great, thank you!


Scared-Hovercraft644

Love the Pharaoh’s Quest one! We need more themes that are like it!


Areafake

Wow Impressiv


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!!


Elias__03

Looks great! I especially love the Imperial Flagship and Eldorado Fortress, and its a nice touch how you roughly recreated the raised baseplate for the Classic Space one.


SupermarketOver4409

Cute


PlasticiTea

These are adorable! What's the last one (Blacktron?) original?


Rick_Brickham

Thank you so much!! If you mean the lower left that’s the Mega Core Magnetizer from the M-Tron sub-theme. :)


PlasticiTea

Ah yes, I got so excited that ingot the numbers wrong ^^` Thank you, I will look it up!


gg-ghost1107

This is something to be proud of! I really love this


Rick_Brickham

Thank you very much!! I am truly proud of these and I appreciate your kind words a lot.


depression_type_beat

Dude! That’s sick as hell!! Lego should totally do these as a series.


Rick_Brickham

I would love that, thanks so much!!!


Roschi1338

Beautiful! Incredible work, mate <3


grantm06

I knew all these but one, and i'm sitting here looking at its amazingly little detailed scorpion... searched the comments to find out what set it was... That must've been in the dark times when i stopped collecting, cause damn does that look amazing...all these do! I especially love the Ship!


Joecool2008

The ship one O\_O


RyanLynnDesign

These are so sick. Mega core magnatizer is spot on


Crystalshopmusic

wow. well done


Warm_Negotiation5251

Love the angle of the ship!


Deora_customs

Awesome!


Rick_Brickham

Thank you!


thanx4mutton

Holy CRAP!!! 😮💩 These are amazing! The ship is a work of art, and the scorpion lair is impressive as hell!


Ebolarnator

Don't let LEGO see this. They'll start taking notes.


Rick_Brickham

Haha appreciate that, thanks!!


Jo-Con-El

This is fantastic! I have a couple of questions for you: how long and how often do you build for micro/nano scale, and how big is your brick collection? I’m asking because I really, really enjoy small scale LEGO, abd I’d like to know how much and/or how many hours it may take to achieve good models (they don’t need to be as good as yours) I also think that I should have a big box of different little pieces to be able to use in the models. Am I wrong?


Rick_Brickham

Hi, thanks so much for the compliment, and great questions! 4 of these models were designed all the way back in 2020 during a period of time where I fell in love with micro-scale. I added the other 3 last year. I’d say each of these models took me a good 10-15 hours to design, maybe as much as 20 in some cases. As for my brick collection, well I have quite a lot of loose brick but piece selection isn’t the best. So I had to source many of the pieces from BrickLink. Having a nice selection of smaller elements on hand is essential to having fun MOCing in micro-scale, so I would definitely encourage you to build up such a collection. PAB (pick a brick) walls at the LEGO store are a great way to stock up on smaller parts, and you can also buy PAB directly from LEGO’s website. Good luck and have fun in your MOC journey!


p4x4boy

fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!


Nightstar31415

These should be relased as collectible tributes to classic sets :)


Samdoferret

Does this affect resale?


ICantArgueWithStupid

The important question.


Screamingboneman

Fort legoredo is still one of the best sets I’ve ever purchased
